Ordered windshield wiper refills. Problem: counter person said they are not available but at Advance Auto they are: ONLINE ONLY. And cheap, so I doubled up. Around 5.99 per, free shipping if you spend $35. I needed a polishing liquid because I sprayed the clear coat on the roof. Allright, the car is a beach bum, not a queen. She has sand in her eyelashes. Still a pretty design though.

 

Counter persons at places like advance, o'reillys, and auto zone are not trained or even necessarily experienced. They are bodies to fill a space. (I have not tried a Pep boys and 'I think' Napa give some training) I have found that even if I do the research and go in with a part number and say "I want this" they will still question it. I have had to add the fact that "Your website says you have it in stock." Only then do they handle it. Its infuriating. Thats why the online places do so well.
Also, I got Correct Jaguar branded wipers for mine from Motorcars Ltd dot com at the best price i could find.
Theres nothing wrong with being the "beach bum," as long as youre enjoying it. Its yours. Use it.
